EN SAFETY PRECAUTIONS This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to USER SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the following symbols. Please pay particular attention to these sections.
Important safety information – A hazard that may cause serious injury or loss of life.
CAUTION
NOTE
Important information that tells how to prevent damage to equipment, or how to avoid a situation that may cause minor injury.
Information that you should pay special attention to.
The following hazards may occur during the normal use of this equipment. Please read the following chart before using this equipment. HAZARD Fire
CAUSE
SAFEGUARDS
Solvent and coatings can be highly flammable or combustible especially when sprayed.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep air free of accumulations of flammable vapors. Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area. Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray area.
Solvent Spray
During use and while cleaning and flushing, solvents can be forcefully expelled from fluid and air passages. Some solvents can cause eye injury.
Wear eye protection.
Inhaling Toxic Substances
Certain materials may be harmful if inhaled, or if there is contact with the skin.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data Sheet supplied by your coating material manufacturer. Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free of accumulations of toxic materials. Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be compatible with the material being sprayed and its concentration. Equipment must be as prescribed by an industrial hygienist or safety expert, and be NIOSH approved.
Explosion Hazard Incompatible Materials
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents - for example; methylene chloride and 1,1,1, Trichloroethane are not chemically compatible with the aluminum that might be used in many system components. The chemical reaction caused by these solvents reacting with aluminum can become violent and lead to an equipment explosion.
Guns with stainless steel internal passageways may be used with these solvents. However, aluminum is widely used in other spray application equipment - such as material pumps, regulators, valves, and this gun and cup. Check all equipment items before use and make sure they can also be used safely with these solvents. Read the label or data sheet for the material you intend to spray. If in doubt as to whether or not a coating or cleaning material is compatible, contact your material supplier.
General Safety
Improper operation or maintenance of equipment.
Operators should be given adequate training in the safe use and maintenance of the equipment (in accordance with the requirements of NFPA-33, Chapter 15). Users must comply with all local and national codes of practice and insurance company requirements governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation, maintenance, and housekeeping. These are OSHA Sections 1910.94 and 1910.107 and NFPA-33.
Cumulative Trauma Disorders ("CTD's")
Use of hand tools may cause cumulative trauma disorders ("CTD's").
Pain, tingling, or numbness in the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hands, or fingers, especially during the night, may be early symptoms of a CTD. Do not ignore them. Should you experience any such symptoms, see a physician immediately. Other early symptoms may include vague discomfort in the hand, loss of manual dexterity, and nonspecific pain in the arm. Ignoring early symptoms and continued repetitive use of the arm, wrist, and hand can lead to serious disability. Risk is reduced by avoiding or lessening factors 1-7.
CTD's, or musculoskeletal disorders, involve damage to the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, and back. Carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis (such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff syndrome) are examples of CTD's.
CTD's, when using hand tools, tend to affect the upper extremities. Factors which may increase the risk of developing a CTD include: 1. High frequency of the activity. 2. Excessive force, such as gripping, pinching, or pressing with the hands and fingers. 3. Extreme or awkward finger, wrist, or arm positions. 4. Excessive duration of the activity. 5. Tool vibration. 6. Repeated pressure on a body part. 7. Working in cold temperatures. CTD's can also be caused by such activities as sewing, golf, tennis, and bowling, to name a few.

EN INSTALLATION For maximum transfer efficiency, do not use more pressure than is necessary to atomize the material being applied. NOTE: when using the HS1, HVLP setup do not exceed 29.0 psi (2.0 bar) inlet pressure. 1. Connect the gun to a clean, moisture and oil free air supply using a conductive hose. NOTE
11. The pattern size can be reduced by turning spreader valve knob (23) clockwise. 12. Hold gun perpendicular to surface being sprayed. Arcing or tilting may result in uneven coating. 13. The recommended spray distance is 3-6 in (75-150 mm).
Install an air gauge at the gun handle. When gun is triggered on, adjust regulated pressure to 29.0 psi (2.0 bar). Do not use more pressure than is necessary to atomize the material being applied. Excess pressure will create additional overspray and reduce transfer efficiency.
14. Spray edges first. Overlap each stroke a minimum of 75%. Move gun at a constant speed. 15. Always turn off air supply and relieve pressure when gun is not in use.
2. Attach the gravity feed cup to the material inlet. NOTE Before using the gun, flush it with solvent to ensure that the fluid passages are clean.
OPERATION 1. Mix coating material manufacturer’s instructions.
10. If finish is too wet, reduce fluid flow by turning fluid adjusting knob (18) clockwise. If atomization is too coarse, increase inlet air pressure. If too fine, reduce inlet pressure.
to
2. If required, fit the filter in the cup or use the funnel with a paper filter. 3. Fill the cup to no more than 1/2 inch from the top of the cup. DO NOT OVERFILL. 4. Attach Cup Lid. 5. Turn fluid adjusting knob (18) clockwise to prevent fluid needle movement. 6. Turn spreader valve adjusting knob (23) counter clockwise to fully open. 7. Adjust inlet air pressure to 29.0 psi (2.0 bar). 8. Turn fluid adjusting knob counter clockwise until first thread shows.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE & CLEANING To clean air cap and fluid nozzle, brush exterior with a stiff bristle brush. If necessary to clean cap holes, use a broom straw or toothpick if possible. If a wire or hard instrument is used, extreme care must be used to prevent scratching or burring of the holes which will cause a distorted spray pattern.
CAUTION To prevent damage to fluid nozzle (8) or fluid needle (15), be sure to either 1) pull the trigger and hold while tightening or loosening the fluid nozzle, or 2) remove fluid adjusting knob (18) to relieve spring pressure against needle collar. CAUTION IMPORTANT — the Gravity cup is made from special anti-static materials, but it still important to avoid generating static charges. The Cup must not be cleaned or rubbed with a dry cloth or paper. It is possible to generate a static charge by rubbing which, if discharged to an grounded object could create an incendive spark and cause solvent vapors to ignite. Only use a dampened cloth or antistatic wipes if manual cleaning is required within a hazardous area.
To clean fluid passages, remove excess material from cup, then flush with gun wash solution. Wipe the gun exterior with a dampened cloth. Never completely immerse in any solvent or cleaning solutions as this is detrimental to the lubricants and life of the spray gun. NOTE When replacing the fluid nozzle or fluid needle, replace both at the same time. Using worn parts can cause fluid leakage. See page 13, Chart 2. Also, replace the needle packing at this time. Torque the fluid nozzle to 70 in-lbs (8 Nm). Do not over tighten.
9. Test spray. If the finish is too dry, reduce airflow by reducing air inlet pressure.
